Hewlett Packard Enterprise has launched eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers, the latest additions to a new generation of enterprise servers that introduce industry-first security capabilities, optimise performance for complex workloads and boost productivity with management features enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI). The new servers will feature upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors for data centre and edge environments.
“Our customers are tackling workloads that are overwhelmingly data-intensive and growing ever more demanding,” said Krista Satterthwaite, senior vice president and general manager of Compute at HPE. “The new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers give organisations – spanning public sector, enterprise and vertical industries like finance, healthcare and more – the horsepower and management insights they need to thrive while balancing their sustainability goals and managing costs. This is a modern enterprise platform engineered for the hybrid world. It is designed with innovative security and control capabilities to help companies prevail over the evolving threat landscape and performance challenges that their legacy hardware cannot address.”
The HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 portfolio sets a new standard for enterprise security with built-in safeguards at every layer – from the chip to the cloud – and every phase of the server lifecycle. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) 7 introduces an enhanced and dedicated security processor called secure enclave that is engineered from the ground up as HPE intellectual property. HPE ProLiant Compute servers with HPE iLO 7 will help organizations safeguard against future threats as the first server with quantum computing-resistant readiness and to meet the requirements for a high-level cryptographic security standard, the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification.
The chip-enhanced security features of HPE iLO 7 distinguish HPE ProLiant servers from other vendors. Embedded into the server hardware, secure enclave establishes an unbreakable chain of trust to protect against firmware attacks and creates full line-of-sight from the factory and throughout HPE’s trusted supply chain. This extends to the end of the product lifecycle with HPE Onsite Decommission Services which collects equipment and transports it to an authorized sorting and recycling facility.
HPE Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based software platform that helps customers secure and automate server environments. Proactive and predictive automation, now enhanced with AI-driven insights, helps organizations improve energy efficiency by forecasting power usage and enabling enterprises to set thresholds to control costs and carbon emissions on a worldwide level. A new global map view simplifies management so customers can instantly identify server health issues across distributed IT environments and multi-vendor toolset integration reduces downtime by up to 4.8 hours per server every year. Automated on-boarding simplifies server set-up and ongoing management, particularly in remote or branch-office deployments where local IT resources are not available.
All new HPE Compute Ops Management features, including AI-informed insights, new map-based visibility and third-party tool integration, will be available to HPE ProLiant Compute Gen10 servers and newer.
Six of the eight new HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers featuring upcoming Intel Xeon 6 processors will be available Q1 2025.
